Episode 377
“Hehe.”
I laughed wildly and snapped the arrow stuck in my shoulder.
The pain was overwhelming, but it was bearable because I had prepared myself in advance.
‘I got caught.’
I didn’t ask the Sword King to protect Jain’s dojo for no reason.
Darkness would not have known that this was a measure to limit the targets the sniper would aim for.
‘Should I really call him the best archer in the Demonic Cult?’
I’ve never seen her in action on the battlefield.
Basically, she is a person who only follows the orders of the demonic cult leader, and she often moves in conjunction with the Cheonak Army or the Sosalma Army.
However, it was possible to estimate her capabilities using Changmyeong Palace as a standard.
Among the archery experts I have ever encountered, the most outstanding person was Bang Cheok-sam.
The arrow he fired did not fly in a straight line.
Not only did it draw a curved trajectory, but the trajectory also bent at a right angle or orbited in the air like a wheel.
As I heard from Amhonsi, I thought that a person with skills comparable to Bangcheoksam would be able to perform similar techniques.
As such, it would be impossible to pinpoint her location using ordinary methods.
‘It’s worth the risk.’
It wasn’t something I couldn’t avoid.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t stop it.
I was sure.
If it were Dark Soul Poetry, I would never miss the moment when the Pungcheon Demon Emperor and I face off with all our might.
Therefore, the shoulder, or more precisely, several parts that are far from the vital area, were exposed.
To trace back the path the arrow took.
‘Were you hiding there?’
I felt it clearly the moment the arrowhead touched my skin.
The lingering scent of energy left in the air.
If you move along the disappeared line, there will definitely be a dark poem at the end.
Of course, Amhonsi would have realized by now that his location had been revealed.
It was clear that he would move immediately and try to hide himself.
‘That doesn’t work.’
It was unfortunate for her, but once she was discovered, it was as if she had already been tricked.
Once you figured out the approximate location, the rest was easy.
For subsequent tracking, you can use the hand sound technique.
“Wow!”
The Bungcheon Demon Emperor staggered, coughing up blood.
It seems that the collision a little while ago had worsened the internal injuries.
As if ignoring him, I turned my back and kicked the ground.
‘There is no point in fighting him anymore.’
My goal from the beginning was dark poetry, not him.
In the first place, I didn’t think I could catch the Bungcheon Demon Emperor here.
The reason he foolishly exchanged arms with me was to buy time for his subordinates to escape.
It wasn’t that I was particularly passionate about fighting, or that I had lost my senses due to the devil’s intoxication.
The Bungcheon Demon Emperor I knew was a very calculating person.
Should I say that it is not like mine?
Just like he did at Baekmakmun four years ago, he was the one who would try to run away without hesitation if it was judged to be dangerous.
‘At first glance, it looks like it’s going to collapse at any moment.’
Having faced him several times, I recognized at a glance that it was an act.
There was no chance that the Demon Cult’s best keel would collapse at this level.
It would be a lie if I said I didn’t feel regretful, but it was better to secure the key that would determine the direction of the war than to obsess over a fight that could not be concluded.
“How dare you show your back to me!”
The enraged Bungcheon Demon Emperor poured out a barrage of attacks, but I dodged everything and widened the distance between me and him.
In a timely manner, the elites of the Shaman faction and the Namgung family rushed in and tied his feet.
Wow!
A wave spreading throughout the area centered on the touching hands.
Feeling a sense of crisis, Amhonsi jumped out of the pit and pulled the bowstring.
An arrow stuck between fingers.
Boom!
Three arrows flew towards the head, neck, and danjeon.
The strong energy formed on the arrowhead gave an idea of the power of the attack.
‘Where are you going to run away?’
At the same time as letting go of the demonstration, the city of Darkness opens a light attack and runs away.
I charged like a bull with a layer of brain energy covering my entire body.
He didn’t care about the arrows hitting his body and moved forward, throwing his sword towards the masked man’s clearly exposed back.
Whoops!
The black dark spirit was launched with a thunderous sound and fell to the ground after being struck by the arrow swung in fright.
Although they did not inflict any real damage, it was important that the distance between them decreased each time the Dark Lords responded to an attack.
‘Let’s see if we can hit this one too.’
I could have continued to apply pressure with sword fighting techniques, but here I decided to use a more familiar technique.

I held the needle I took out from my pocket between my thumb and index finger.
The brain energy condensed on the surface of the needle made of whole iron, scattering powerful energy waves around.
Sigh!
The needle flew in a semi-circular trajectory and narrowly tore Amhonsi’s clothes.
The moment when Amhonsi is catching wind.
Sigh!
Suddenly, a needle with a sharply bent trajectory dug into the ground.
The concentrated brain energy was released and a tremendous explosion occurred.
Kwaaaaang!
Dark flying sword.
The martial arts that was left to me by Dang Sang-jin, the head of the Tang family, the Poison King.
I’ve been practicing regularly, but this was my first time using it properly in real life.
As he reached the absolute state, he was able to form a sphere of brain energy at a desired point, but this did not mean that the dark technique became useless.
By using the rising dark technique, it was possible to attack enemies from a greater distance in a variety of ways.
“Tsk.”
The Dark Lord who came out through the dust cloud let out a suppressed groan.
The mask was half broken, revealing his bare face.
‘It looks like he’s confident in his abilities, but he won’t be able to shake me off since I’ve mastered the art of martial arts.’
I continued to chase after her, throwing the needle.
I didn’t forget to retrieve the sword with an empty weapon.
The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed.
Perhaps deciding that there was no answer as it was, the Amhonsi made a surprise turn and pulled the bowstring again.
After confirming that powerful energy was condensing around the bow tip, I immediately unleashed my Wolyeong sword.
Twenty-third herbivory, Suwol (水月).
The remnants that remained along the sword’s path crumbled into countless blades.
Despite the rolling waves of illusion, there was not even a single disturbance in Amhonsi’s movements.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The arrow flew in a dragon fist wind and split the illusory wave in half.
However, the illusion was just a curtain to hide my movements.
I, who had already left the route, delved into the dark side in the blink of an eye.
‘Gotcha.’
It was a time when I was confident of the end and preparing for the final blow.
Beyond the broken mask.
I could see Amhonsi’s eyes narrowing.
As soon as she bent her back at a right angle, the sound of a clanking drive pierced her ears.
‘Tracheal apparatus?’
Puff poop!
The source of the noise was none other than the quiver of arrows.
Arrows came pouring out all at once, filling my field of vision.
‘Was this the real target?’
It’s too late to avoid this situation.
I thought that even if I protected myself with self-defense equipment, the impact would not be small.
[The most important factor in implementing and operating a false steel device is none other than intention. There is no set framework for how to use it.]
[Think of the sword you have trained your whole life and embody it.]
The enlightenment I gained while sparring with the Hundred and Eight Arhats at the advice of Buddha flashed through my mind.
Before I could think of a way to overcome the current situation, my body reacted first.
The fourteenth herbivorous meal, Naewol (來月).
Something invisible guided the arrows towards the body.
With my left hand, I gently pushed away the arrows that had gathered near my side like iron attracted to a magnet.
Darkness stared at the arrows falling on the ground with a blank expression.
“Nonsense…”
Wow!
A clenched fist dug into her abdomen.
A waist bent like a prawn.
He grabbed hold of the masked man’s blood and robbed him of his consciousness.
Darkness’s new type collapsed like a kite with a broken string.
“······.”
It’s time to look down at the shoulder where the arrow was pierced.
I took a deep breath and muttered to myself.
‘Anyway, nothing is easy.’
* * *
Wow!
The Shaman sect’s gurus greeted me with cheers as I picked up the fainted Amhonshi and joined the ranks.
The Sword King asked, staring at my shoulder with a worried expression.
“Are you okay?”
“yes.”
I nodded with an indifferent expression.
Although he was injured, it did not interfere with his movements.
Considering the supernormal abilities of the White Lightning God Art, he would be able to fully recover within five days.
Yuhwageom, who cut off his gi and wrapped a white cloth around the affected part, thanked me.
“Thank you for your help. “I owe you my life.”
“As the person in charge of leading the Maeng reinforcements, I simply did the natural thing.”
“Speaking of speaking, where are the reinforcements now?”
“It’s not far away. “I felt like the situation was moving quickly, so I came here first.”
The disciples of the shaman sect, who had been listening to the story with bated breath, let out an exclamation.
Among them, there were some who were making noise and chanting my nickname.
It took some time for the unrest to subside.
The Sword King turned his gaze toward the direction the demon cultists fled and said as if he was throwing something.
“In the end, I missed the Bungcheon Demon Festival.”
“Don’t be too sad. Even if the elder and I had joined forces, we would not have been able to catch him.”
Among the eight great demons, Emperor Bungcheon was the one who cared for his subordinates, but he was never the type of person to protect others even at the cost of sacrificing himself.
If the Sword King and I had attacked at the same time, he would have sacrificed his subordinates to buy himself time to escape.
In the meantime, Zain Dojang’s life would have been threatened by Amhonsi again.
“But what about him?”
“I am guessing that he is a warrior belonging to the Heavenly Demon Palace. “If you interrogate him, you might be able to get some information.”
In his previous life, Amhonsi mainly played the role of messenger on the battlefield.
It was probably the same in this life as well.
‘She would know why the current situation occurred.’
This was the reason why the capture of Amhonsi was prioritized over everything else.
Because I judged that there would be a lot of information that could be obtained by interrogating her.
I planned to find out even if it meant using all the dead soul poison.
What is the reason why the numerically disadvantaged Demonic Cult attacked in three directions at the same time?
What kind of plan does Master Ma have?
‘Of course, a person like this would have suffering planted in his head.’
I had an idea of a way to solve the problem.
As I threw Amhonsi on the cart loaded with goods and stretched, Zain Dojang spoke to me again.
“There’s one more thing I’d like to ask.”
“Please speak.”
“How did you come here after knowing about the crisis of independent factions? “I thought for sure Zhuge Se would have joined his side.”
“Thanks to the advice of a competent adjutant.”
“aide?”
“yes. To be precise, he is a temporary lieutenant, but…”
“······?”
martial arts,
